  4. A quotation from Shakespeare

    OLIVIA: What’s a drunken man like, Fool?

       mads him, and a third drowns him.

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Twelfth Night, Act 1, sc. 5, l. 128ff (1.5.128-131) (1601)

  5. A quotation from Shakespeare

    FOOL: Good madonna, why mourn’st thou?
    OLIVIA: Good Fool, for my brother’s death.
    FOOL: I think his soul is in hell, madonna.

  8. I'm sitting here absolutely bawling, tears flowing down my face, as I watch The Kings Affection in background. It's a Netflix k-drama, for those that don't know it. Korea is lately putting out some brilliant works.

    I'm only about 3/4 through and won't spoil anything by going onto detail. I see homages to Twelfth Night and Roshomon. It's nicely structured.

    It's a good love story, but also a recurring theme of some of these Korean dramas is such an honor and dignity and hope through real adversity. It's like the kind of television I watched and plays I worked on even, like Camelot and especially A Man for All Seasons, which was very formative for me.

    Things that understand the struggle between Good and Evil is important to see and engage, even where nuance makes the lines between them blurred. These Korean works seem to be targeting an intelligent audience who wants to think. I love the genre, and this one is a good example.

    I think at some point the US decided that cynicism sells better than promise, and we have done well in exposing the many ways that society fails people, yet in the process we have somehow managed to deliver a sense of hopelessness and fatalism that is itself a cancer, suggesting the individual might as well just go for what's theirs. I love that these writers are still portraying another path.

  9. Tonight, I came across pictures from when I was Duke Orsino in Twelfth Night. That was such a fun play, need to get around to Shakespeare again.

  13. BTW, I 1000% recommend watching the modern setting with full text Shakespeare adaptation “Twelfth Night” (2018) (youtu.be/QOG8DxWPeRI?si=hut8i-) starring Sheila Atim when you get the chance. She’s phenomenal in it.

  15. My gift to the timeline: Joanna Lumley in male drag.

    Joanna Lumley speaks Viola’s soliloquy from Twelfth Night, act II, scene 2, wherein she wonders why the countess Olivia has sent her a ring and whether Olivia has fallen in love with her.

  21. Happy #TwelfthNight!

    Shakespeare's romantic comedy Twelfth Night or What You Will is believed to have been written as an entertainment performed on this date to close the Christmas season. Listen to 3 songs from the play recorded by Victor, circa 1914: publicdomainreview.org/collect

  23. Oh BTW, happy #TwelfthDayOfChristmas! I’ve no special plans for #TwelfthNight but I do have one box of Christmas sweets- panda shaped container with “a prize inside” still to open. It’s been driving my husband crazy, but it will be my end of #Christmas celebration.

  24. The snow is not letting up, it's just getting heavier. The Split Rock is over there somewhere, but you wouldn't know.

    *Those Christmas lights are just about to come down. Is it #twelfthnight yet?

  26. CW: Christmas dessert food

    We finally got around to making the #Christmas trifle. Will do nicely for #TwelfthNight.

  27. 🍀🎄🍀If taking down the Christmas decorations feels sad, wait until Old Twelfth Night on 17th January, or Candlemas on 2nd February -both traditional days- to keep your home bright and cheerful for a little longer! #FolkloreSunday #MythologyMonday #FairyTaleTuesday #TwelfthNight

  29. I hate to say it, but I think anachronism is the only way to make Shakespeare palatable to modern audiences. Even then, it's not really accessible to most.
